On an otherwise quiet morning, a screech echoed across the grassland, slowly moving closer and closer. It sounded a little something like this: Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddyyy!!!"
As the voice drew closer and closer it became easier to distinguish a small, colorful form booking it through the grass, legs a blur. As they came closer it also became more obvious why - behind the small form came a larger, much more angry form. Just as dark as her, without her chaotic color, and much, much, much larger. Her screech was echoed by a bellowing roar.
To be honest it really kind of a little bit maybe was kind of a little her fault. But how was she supposed to know that the roly poly fat pup trespasser with the weird face and paws and no tail that she'd tried to chase off had a momma nearby? Or that she'd be angry when Leto tried to bite the ugly pup's nose?
The ugly giant dog things were, unbeknownst to Leto, black bears. Generally fairly docile compared to grizzlies, they were certainly easier to chase off... if you weren't a pup. Unfortunately for her, Leto wasn't any larger than the bear's cub, and the bear was not impressed.
